PLAYGIRL editor-in-chief Michele Zipp has been stripped of her duties after she revealed how she voted Republican in the 2004 election.
Zipp, in an e-mail, claims she was fired after an onslaught of liberal backlash.
"Hello Drudge,
"After your coverage of my article about coming out and voting Republican, I did receive many letters of support from fellow Republican voters, but it was not without repercussions. Criticism from the liberal left ensued. A few days after the onslaught of liberal backlash, I was released from my duties at Playgirl magazine.
"After underlings expressed their disinterest of working for an outed Republican editor, I have a strong suspicion that my position was no longer valued by Playgirl executives. I also received a phone call from a leading official from Playgirl magazine, in which he stated with a laugh, "I wouldn't have hired you if I knew you were a Republican.
"I just wanted to let you know of the fear the liberal left has about a woman with power possessing Republican views."
Developing...
Unbelievable....
I suspect they can get by by saying they fired her because of the distraction her public political comments caused. Right or left, her professional role was in (dubious) entertainment, nit politics.
hilarious,
a porn mag with some bizarre scruples....man this is definitely the 21 century!
isnt it just amazing that porn is not offensive( some guy with his plums out) , but jeeze a republican...!!!

thanks!
Looks to me like the "lunatic left" management at Playgirl has outed itself. After hearing Michell's earlier comments regarding her politics, I was ready to subscribe. I sure won't buy their magazine now.
So, you have a subscription?
I volunteer to comfort her in this time of distress.
News Flash! Not every republican is anti-porn.
Hey, I'm a Republican Party Reptile!!
Add me to the Ping list. Sounds like my kind of crew!

Hardly. Decency is a Republican issue.
The liberal left has fear of anyone in power possessing Republican views, men and women.
I'm not surprised that the self-described "tolerant" left is exposed again as actually rabidly intolerant.
I'd love to write her a letter, but I don't know her Zipp code.
Interesting. She gets fired for saying she's a Republican but Churchill lingers on at CU after comparing the victims of 9-11 to Nazis, lying on his resume, falsely claiming to be an Indian and being guilty of plagiarism.
Shows you what Liberals consider to be true hate speech!

No one is less tolerant or diverse than the smug, arrogant, condescending, self-righteous left wind (sic)fascists in this and other countries.
Hateful hypocrits.
